JAPANESE JOTTINGS.
Action of the Cabinet on the
Revised Treaty Question.

Revised Treaty Question.
SAN Francisco, August 25.-An
Associated Press correspondent at
Toxic, Japan, writing under date of
August 4th, says: The conference for
the revision of treaties has been ad-
journed for an indefinite period. 1t
is said that the negotiations have been
greatly embarrassed by the demands
of some of the treaty powers with
reference to new codes of law for
Japan. These demands appear to have
amounted, in certain cases, to asser-
ton OF the right to participate in the
domestic legislation of Japan.
CAUSE OF THE DELAY.
1t has been authoritatively stated
that the present decision of the Jap
anese Cabinet to temporarily suspend
negotiations is due to the fact that
they do not admit that foreign powers
have this right, and that they conse-
quently prefer to postpone the COM
pletion OF the treaty revision until the
codes have been promulgated.
SATISFACTION PROMISED.
These laws, they claim, will be in
harmony with Western legislation,
and will themselves supply all the
guarantees which can reasonably be
demanded from protection of Gov
ernment rights in Japan.
THE ACTION GENERALLY APPROVED.
The decision OF the Cabinet is sup
ported by intelligent public opinion.
Several Commissioners are engaged in
the revision and modification OF the
laws, and among their members are
number of foreign specialists.

SHOT IN A SALOON.
Unfortunate End of n Well
Known Mariner.

SAN Francisco, August 25.-Andrew
G. Freese, Jr., Captain of the tug ol
the same name and son OF Captain
Andrew G. Freese, Pilot Commits
sioner, entered Frederick Gerhow's
saloon, No. 9 Mission street, with sew
eral companions this evening, and in
a few minutes
DISPUTE AROSE
Between Freese and the proprietor
about the payment of some drinks.
Freese used strong language and Ger
how drew revolver and
SHOT HIM TWICE,
One ball striking below the heart and
the other in the thigh. Freese was
removed to the Receiving Hospital
where he died soon after. Gerhow
was arrested.
FREEsE's FAMILY AFFAIRS.
Freese was captain of the stern
wheeler G. A. Freese plying between
here and Stockton, of which his
father is the owner. He was 27 years
Oh aye, anu WAS llltIfltu dpouo q yOoi
ago to a most estimable young lady.
Both Mrs. Freese and Gerhow's wife
are approaching maternity. The
former was not informed of her hus-
bands tragic death, nor the latter of
arrest last night.
oLD-TIME FRIENDS.
Gerhow senior and old Captain
Freese have been close friends for
years, both being members of the Ma
sonic fraternity. In fact, the twofam-
lilies have boen on an intimate footing
for over a quarter of a century. The
slayer and his victim were school
mates and constant companions up to
their eighteenth year.
GERHow's GRIEF.
When Gerhow was Informed of
Freese's death he broke down COM
pletely and wept. "My God! what
have | done ?" he exclaimed. "What
will become of my poor wife? What
will become of me ?"

A BROKEN BRIDGE.
Distressing Railroad Accident on
the Union Pacific.

the T. mon Facl11cs
DENVER, August 25.-An accident
occurred to- the east-bound Union Pa
cific express at Sandy creek bridge,
ten miles east of here, at II O'Clock
last night. The Union Pacific and
Burlington bridges cross the creek al
most parallel and within few feet of
each other.
HORRIBLE DISCOVERY.
When the engine of the Union Pa
cifc, which leaves here about thirty
minutes ahead of the Burlington, was
within few feet of the bridge, the
engineer was Mortified to see that the
food of the early part of the evening
had washed the middle section away.
The fireman jumped into the stream,
and was taken out half an hour later
in an unconscious condition. He may
die.
THE ENGINEERS EFFORTS.
Engineer Masterson grabbed the
lever and reversed the engine Just as
it plunged into the water with the
baggage car on top. His body was
buried in the sand and has not yet
been recovered. The engine was COM
pletely submerged in the sand. The
baggage man, Breedlove, was badly
injured by falling trunk.
JUST IN TIME.
A German woman living near by
heard the cries of the frightened peo-
pie and rushed out with lantern and
stopped the approaching express on
the Burlington within few feet of
the bridge.
A FATAL RIDE.
A young fellow by the name of Bean
der, who was stealing ride on the
front end of the baggage car at the
time of the accident, was found near
the bank of the creek early this morn
ing badly scalded about the head and
chest and with his hip badly crushed.
He was taken to his fathers residence
at this city and died at noon. The
body of engineer Masterson is sup
posed to be buried under the engine.

GENERAL NEWS.
Improvement in Governor
Bartlett's Condition.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Old COlOrOw and His Braves Sur
rOunded-GOvernOr Adams
Starts for the Scene.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN Francisco, August 25.-The
latest reports from Oakland this after
noon state that Governor Bartlett is
much better. His paralysis is leaving
him, his mind is clear, his speech i'm
proving, and his physician, DIR.
Bucket, has hope of his ultimate re-
covery.
EVENING REPORT.
Governor Bartlett has spent quiet
and in general comfortable after
noon, although his head has troubled
him somewhat and he has been in
clined to nervousness. He has slept
but very little. The paralysis seems
to be decreasing, but there are indica-
tions of slight paralyzation of the lip.
FRIENDLY CALLERS.
A delegation of friends called late
this evening to see him, but the ply
sicians and attendants felt obliged to
deny them admittance. The Governor
is resting comfortably at this hour.
AT MID, UT.
Governor Bartlett's condition has
not materially changed during the
past few hours.
MEDICAL SYNOPSIS.
1t now seems that the disease that
was thought to be Bright's disease is
abcess OF the kidneys and it is thought
that this may break at any time.
When it does break blood poisoning is
to be feared. The Governor has not
been out of bed since receiving the
paralytic stroke, except as lifted when
necessary.
